Chapter 1036 Look Over There
"If you think it's OK, then I'll continue filling it out."
The discussion was almost over, and Bae Joo-hyun, who had been criticized for a while, didn't care. After carefully writing down many of Chi Jingyuan's suggestions in her little notebook, she looked up, full of energy.
"The only ones that are OK are those few lines. The quality of the chorus is needed. The rest are far from good..."
Chi Jingyuan curled his lips and looked at Pei Zhuxuan with a strange look: "The level of the previous and next paragraphs is quite different. I even doubt whether you wrote it. And the phrase kingdom com, you are not religious... Could it be that Sun Shengwan suggested it?"
Snapped!
"Pooh."
Bae Joo-hyun slapped him in dissatisfaction, and there was a muffled sound, which sounded quite forceful.
After the filming, she raised her fist in the air, gesturing as if to protest: "I'm going to hit you, believe it or not... hum?"
"Really?" Chi Jingyuan was not afraid at all, and still raised his eyebrows to test.
"Go to hell!"
The little fist finally came down and made close contact with his back. At the same time, the little sister's angry voice came: "Do you think Shengwan will be happy to hear you say that?"
As she spoke, she closed the notebook in her hand, as if hiding it from him: "Just wait, I'll scare you to death in a few days..."
Although she said so, her eyes showed a hint of confidence and expectation.
It was very meaningful for her that the lyrics of the chorus today were recognized and praised by Ji Jingyuan. It greatly boosted the confidence of Bae Zhuxuan who was trying to write lyrics for the first time... To be honest, although she had been working very hard before, she had no experience after all, so she was always a little nervous.
it's better now.
She was not a talented contestant, and writing lyrics was not easy for her. The few lines of lyrics she had crammed based on the knowledge she had just learned were the ones that Chi Jingyuan complained about the most... But now she already knew some tricks.
She fills in whatever is on her mind.
At the same time, it is slightly embellished to become a little more gorgeous and romantic... just like the lines in the chorus.
"Scare me to death? Haha..." Chi Jingyuan smiled casually without comment.
How could a lyric be so frightening to him? Even if it was written well, it would only give him a small surprise... Could this woman really write a love story between two people into the lyrics?
Pei Zhuxuan shook her head, ignoring the contempt in his tone. After turning around to put away her notebook, she seemed to suddenly think of something: "By the way, you are going to hold a solo concert the day after tomorrow... I heard that many people will go."
"Yes, many friends will come to support us." Hearing this, Chi Jingyuan nodded.
This solo concert is a grand event among Ji Jingyuan's friends. Unlike the concerts of the big group EXO, this first solo concert after his solo debut is of great significance to Ji Jingyuan. Many of his friends and seniors who have a good relationship with him will come to watch the concert. Some of them even called to ask for tickets because they couldn't buy them.
Not to mention anything else, most of the EXO members will probably be there... I don't know whether CBX and Kai will come.
Several sisters from Girls' Generation have said they want to come, such as Kim Taeyeon, Lim Yoona, and Lee Sunkyu, as well as Jung Eun-ji from Apink, Kim Jong-hyun from SHinee, and Choi Sulli.
In addition, there are many friends who have worked together in the film and television industry and have a good relationship, including Kim So Hyun, Yook Sung Jae, Park Shin Hye and Kim Ji Won... It's a pity that Kim Woo Bin seems to be feeling unwell recently and is seeking medical treatment, otherwise the main actors of "The Heirs" would probably be present.
As well as some artists in the circle who are not very close but are also acquaintances... The concert is filled with familiar faces, and when the camera is swept, it is estimated that a few popular artists can be found in the audience.
Some came simply to support because they had a good relationship with the fans, some came to be photographed by fans and the media so that they could appear in front of the camera and attract some topics and headlines, and some came to get familiar with the fans, build relationships, and make connections, etc...
However, Chi Jingyuan did not think too much about it. After all, as long as they could come, they were there to support him, and he appreciated the kindness.
"A personal concert..."
Bae Joo Hyun's voice was a little vague, as if she was a little envious, but the next second her tone changed and she looked over: "I heard that you called Seulgi to rehearse the stage of "Rooftop"... Why didn't you add "Dream" this time?"
Why? You don’t know why in your heart?
Not to mention taking care of your girlfriend's emotions, just a month ago, you looked evasive and depressed every time you saw me, and I still asked you to sing "Dream"?
Chi Jingyuan complained in his heart, but did not follow Pei Zhuxuan's question. Instead, he looked at her and asked directly: "Do you want to go?"
"Well……"
Pei Zhuxuan, who was caught off guard, hesitated for a moment, but quickly reacted and wrinkled her nose at Chi Jingyuan: "Next time."
After saying that, she stood up, patted her butt, and looked back at Chi Jingyuan. Although she had just given him a gentle massage and sang the lyrics alone, Pei Zhuxuan did not seem to be too reluctant to leave. She tied her hair and said goodbye directly: "Then I'll leave first."
"It's so late, you probably don't have any plans, are you going straight back to the dormitory?" Chi Jingyuan also stood up and looked at the time. It was almost one o'clock in the morning.
"Yeah, I went straight back... The other members probably went back a long time ago."
"Do you want me to take you there?" Chi Jingyuan asked with concern without any hesitation.
If it was a month ago, Bae Joo-hyun would definitely not let him send it, but now... he was a little unsure.
"..."
Pei Zhuxuan turned around and looked up at him. Her bright eyes met Chi Jingyuan's. Looking at the memorable face, her eyes suddenly curved and she smiled: "You, you should go back earlier~"
After saying that, without even looking at Chi Jingyuan whose eyes moved slightly, she waved her hand, twisted her little butt, and left the music room.
But in my heart, I secretly murmured
You don't need to send me off now, because... I'll be back in a few days.
With a muffled sound, the door of the music room was closed. Chi Jingyuan looked at the closed door and shook his head slightly. After the young lady left, he suddenly felt that the room was less warm and lively.
Tonight, under the pretext of work, Ji Jingyuan and Bae Zhuxuan stayed alone together for a long time. Although there were no intimate actions or words, this was the first time they were so close to each other after such a long time since their breakup.
If the previous straight shot in the stairwell was just a declaration, this time he really felt Bae Joo-hyun's seriousness.
Just thinking about what happened just now and the series of combined punches, Chi Jingyuan couldn't help but pursed his lips, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
From the time they met, to the subsequent ambiguity, to the formal relationship and even the breakup, Chi Jingyuan could say with confidence that almost all of their interactions were dominated by him, whether it was pushing and pulling, or the increase and decrease of emotions, he could say that basically most of the time it was under his control.
But the only time he lost control was the final breakup... And now, time has passed, when Bae Joo-hyun has experienced the vicissitudes of life and changes and returned to his side in another identity, Chi Jingyuan found that many of his previous experiences and habits with Bae Joo-hyun were a bit outdated.
Faced with the various attacks and tactics launched by the young lady in her first attack, he was really overwhelmed.
The main reason is of course that Bae Joo-hyun's feelings towards him and the way she gets along with him have changed a lot, but it's not that Ji Jingyuan's skills have declined. It's just that his mentality has not been adjusted yet. His attitude and way of getting along with every close woman are different. The difference between him and Bae Joo-hyun and Bae Suzy was very different.
...And after all, they have been together for such a long time and are too familiar with each other. There is not much room for many speech skills and pushing and pulling tactics. Firstly, he doesn't want to, and secondly, the other party can probably see it.
Unlike the girls who just flirt around, if there is no emotion, then they don’t care, and vice versa.
But now looking back, although the gentleness of the young lady was enjoyable and the new atmosphere of getting along was refreshing, he didn't like the feeling of being at a disadvantage, as if he was being challenged and his status was threatened.
It's like Pei Zhuxuan has made significant progress after a breakup and separation, but he is still standing still...
"call."
Bae Joo-hyun left, but Ji Jingyuan did not leave immediately. He looked around at the clean music room, exhaled, drank the half-remaining lemonade on the table, then thought for a while, sat down in front of the electronic keyboard again, put his hands on the keys, and started playing softly.
It’s still the new song that has not yet been completed but already has a name, “Kingdom Come”:
“I keep going forward with increasing determination.”
"I am attracted to you and lose myself."
"Endless sinking."
“…baby I will love you Till Kingdom come”
As he played, he softly sang the lyrics he had just heard.
Forget it, he hasn't broken up yet, and he has the final say on emotional matters anyway. Bae Joo Hyun can come if she wants, it's nothing more than having to adapt to the new way of getting along...
But he quite liked this song and this lyrics.
…………
Chi Jingyuan didn't have time to think too much. After a night's rest, he got up early the next day to go to the beauty salon to do his hair, and then went to Seocho District again to start a new book signing event.
But I don't know if it's a psychological effect or it really works. After Bae Joo-hyun's massage and a night's rest, Chi Jingyuan's right hand is indeed much better today. Although it's still a little sore, at least he can hold on for the autograph session.
There weren't too many autograph sessions scheduled for today, just two. After the second session ended at 3 p.m., Chi Jingyuan rushed to Seoul Olympic Park without stopping for the final rehearsal before his solo concert tomorrow.
In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of March 4th. The square in front of the Olympic Park Gymnastics Arena was crowded and bustling. There were long queues at the several entrances, looking like an octopus with bared fangs and claws. In the crowd, two girl fans who were waiting in line to enter were chatting while looking around at the people around them.
"Why are there so many people?"
One of the girls with ponytails looked at the dense crowd around her and couldn't help but sigh.
"Of course, this is Yuan's first solo concert, it's normal to have a lot of people, it would be strange if there were not enough people."
Her companion, a chubby girl with short hair, was holding a glow stick and a cheering banner in her hands. She was also looking at the crowds of people around her and spoke with pride.
SM actually considered the venue for Chi Jingyuan's solo concert for a long time, and was always thinking about whether to go for a bigger one or be more conservative and go for a smaller one.
From the perspective of artist management, solo artists, especially group idols, may still have the same popularity as they did in the group after going solo, but their style and songs after going solo may not be accepted by all fans, so in many cases their popularity will not be higher than when they were in the group.
The quality of songs in a solo artist's first concert is usually not outstanding, and there won't be many die-hard fans willing to pay for it, so the first show will tend to be more conservative.
Even Kim Taeyeon, with eight years of experience as the captain of Girls' Generation and the expectations of countless fans, finally made her solo debut in 2015. Although her debut song "I" received unanimous praise, her first solo concert was only held in the Olympic Hall of the Olympic Park.
The name of Olympic Hall sounds impressive, but it is just a side hall of the Olympic Park and has less than 3000 seats even when fully occupied.
As for Ji Jingyuan, although SM employees knew that their cash cow was much more popular than ordinary boy band members, it was their first time after all, and they were not sure how the solo album would perform, so they were a little hesitant about what venue to choose. After several meetings, they chose the Gymnastics Arena as the venue for the concert... The Gymnastics Arena was also the venue for EXO's first concert. It was also chosen here for Ji Jingyuan's first concert, which was also of special significance.
The capacity of this venue is around 14,000, and if it is fully occupied with additional seats, the capacity can reach 15,000 or 16,000. It is considered large among all the venues for Kpop artists' concerts. Currently, there are not many male and female groups that can hold venues with 10,000 people. It is much larger than the venue where Kim Taeyeon made her debut, and several times larger than the 3,000 or 4,000 capacity of Twice's first concert.
Although it is not a particularly large venue compared to the Gocheok Dome and the Olympic Stadium, the fact that he could hold a 15,000-seat venue for his first solo concert also shows SM's extreme confidence in Ji Jingyuan. At the same time, they were also slightly relieved, thinking that this should be able to meet the needs of fans...
"What a stupid SM. They knew Yuan's popularity, but they opened such a small venue. These 0.3-plus tickets are worth nothing. They were sold out in seconds after the tickets went on sale. Many people didn't even have time to react before they were gone. If I hadn't been quick, I wouldn't have been able to get a ticket..."
"Do they know what the stage name Yuan stands for? Even if his first solo concert is not at the main venue of the Olympic Games, it should at least be at the Gocheok Dome. They are just eating shit and doing nothing. I can do better than them if I were to go there."
"And there are only three shows in total. Ah, hahahahahaha, who on earth came up with this number? Does he only have three years left to live? I'm really going crazy. My idol has to work with such a bunch of idiots every day. They are such a bunch of %￥#@!"
"...Exactly. Several of my friends are die-hard fans of the original. They didn't get tickets, and now they are so angry. They have been posting to criticize SM these past few days..."
Unfortunately, SM's approach obviously did not gain the approval of all fans. The girl with the ponytail clearly heard the condemnation of several fans coming from not far ahead. Their voices were quite loud, but the people around them did not think that what they said was wrong. Instead, they cast their eyes over to agree with them.
Scolding SM is ZZ-correct in the fan circle of SM artists, not to mention that things went so badly, they deserved to be scolded.
The girl with the ponytail also nodded in agreement. The concert tickets were not expensive, and the fan group in their class had originally planned to come together to support the concert, but in the end only the two of them bought the tickets, which made the others jealous and unhappy, and it affected the friendship between the sisters.
Just as she was thinking about how to comfort/show off the sisters who couldn't come, the short-haired girl next to her suddenly patted her shoulder, pointed to a place not far away and whispered:
"Look over there, that person..."
"Do you think that woman looks like Lin Yuna?"
